These are more like peanut butter and graham cracker balls covered in chocolate, but that was a bit long for a title!

(please ignore my drier than ever hands)

I found this recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter Easter Eggs right around everyone's favorite candy holiday, they were immediately put on the top of my to-make list. I love Kristan over at Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, her recipes are always tempting and her pictures only make things look better than they sound!

Line a baking sheet with wax paper, place in freezer for later use. In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, peanut butter, butter, and confectioners sugar. Mix at medium speed till all ingredients are incorporated. I ended up using my hands to get everything combined. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Place baking sheet back in the freezer for 45 minutes or until peanut butter balls are firm.

In a small bowl melt chocolate candy melts or bark according to package. Using a spoon cover peanut butter balls with chocolate one at a time. Tap the spoon on the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate and place balls back on frozen baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or leftover graham cracker crumbles and refrigerate till chocolate is set. Devour.

I used my food processor to crush the graham crackers. I used spring colored sprinkles, but I was thinking white chocolate coating with red, white, and blue sprinkles would be super cute for the upcoming holidays. Let me know if anyone tries this, I would love to see pictures!

So cool thanks for emailing me the link. Will be trying these at home for myself but i seriously doubt they will turn out as perfectly or as festive as these, though with chocolate, graham cracker, and peanut butter as the ingredients i personally could care less if they came out looking like delicious little turds.

I love peanut butter truffles! I have an ancient recipe from Better Homes and Gardens that I have been using for years and it is very similar to yours, except for the Graham crackers. I like that addition. Aren't they really addictive? They look gorgeous! :)

These look so cute and tasty. I want to eat them up. And really...it never gets better than chocolate and peanutbutter...add in some graham crackers and you have sold me on eating whatever it is. Add in the super cute factor and I'm a gonner.

So cute, I love them with the sprinkles! And they sound super yummy...I was tempted to make Kristan's pb eggs too but never got around to it. Now I'll have to make some of these! And congrats on Foodbuzz top 9 :)
